Hey People!

I'm updating my blog because I haven't done so in a while. I live in Seattle now, I just ate a Skinny Cow, and I'm watching the office. The random word for the day is flibbertigibbet. See ya!

Why the Red Hot Chili Peppers are the greatest band in the world!

There is really no way to describe just how amazing the Red Hot Chili Peppers are. There is no way to accurately convey how much the Red Hot Chili Peppers mean to me. There is also no way I can just sit here and not let everyone know what they are missing. If you don't have every single album, you are missing out on something amazing. Here is a brief bullet-point look at why you should love RHCP.

1. The music is amazing, and that's really what it comes down to. Ranging from rock to funk, funk to rap, rap to alternative...their musical library is insanely diverse. You will like at least a handful of their songs, no question.

2. Each band member is completely unique. You'd never find a more eclectic group of people in a band if you looked the world over. It's these unique and vastly different personalities that allow the band to create such diverse and original music that absolutely blows you away.

3. The live performances. Now, I've never been to one in person, which I very much hope to do, but I've seen several recorded versions of their performances. The energy is unmatched, the chemistry is undeniable, and the music flows so organically through every solo, every verse, and every crazy dance move.

4. The story of this band is crazy. Through so many hardships, such as drugs, death of friends and band mates, repeated trips to rehab clinics, and near death experiences, they still managed to become who they are today. Their lead singer, Anthony Kiedis, was only chosen as the front man because of his energetic dancing, not his voice. All things considered, it is truly remarkable.

This is as simple as I could possibly put it, but I could easily expound on each point. Only by listening can you understand exactly why the Red Hot Chili Peppers are so amazing. Speaking of which, here are some tracks to listen to, listed by album. Take a listen, fall in love.

Hello!

I totally forgot about my blog! Not that I have anything that I really want to say. Perhaps this is why I haven't done anything with this blog. What does blog mean? Who thought of that word? Oh, thanks wikipedia! Blog is short for "web log." Could a spider spin a web log?

Sunny Beaches and Fate: Chapter 2

"There aren't any pickles on my Big Town Hero!!!! I can't live without them!"

"...That's it?" Spoke Melinda, her face not hiding any of the humor she found from Nick's rather overly-dramatic reaction.

"I can't have a sub without pickles! If I don't have pickles I puke! Like this!"

"NONONONONOONOOOOOO!" Screamed Melinda, who hated the very thought of puke.

"Sorry! I don't want to see any puke either! Let's just keep going."

And so they did. The two plodded along the beach, taking in all the sights and sounds with silent reverence, for it was in that way only that the sandy, serene scene that surrounded them could be fully appreciated.

This appreciative silence quickly came to an end, however, as Melinda suddenly spoke from behind Nick.

"Look Nick, I'm the prettiest girl of all!"

Taken aback at first by this rather strange sight, that of a girl with a leaf on her head in a strange pose, Nick quickly figured out a way to understand Melinda's rather obsurd sense of fashion, "Maybe if I look out one eye this'll make more sense...uhh, nope."

I like Sour Patch Kids!!! They make my face go like this!

The End...

Sandy Beaches and Fate: Chapter 1

It was a calm, sunny morning on the Oregon Coast, and everything was well. 

Seagulls flapped their wings amongst the brisk dawn air, each sounding out in chorus, as if to welcome in this glorious day.

Conincidentally, it was on that very same day that two people decided they should visit this idyllic place. Their names were Nick and Melinda, and they were about to embark on a journey more epic than they could ever have imagined.

After a rather long drive, greatly shortened with the help of good music and conversation, the two arrived at the shore in a lightly wooded area.

The path ahead seemed easy enough: a mildly winding path of dirt and stone that would lead them straight to the rocky shores outside of Newport.

With determination in their eyes and courage in their stances, the two decided to begin their journey of a thousand miles with a single step...

But it was here that their dreams of the perfect day were shattered.

"Don't worry, it's not like there's any crazy animals that live in these woods. I just want to take a quick peek over this log." Nick said with an air of confidence in his voice.

"But Nick..." Melinda began, her face letting off hints of both worry and fear, "I don't wish any harm to come to you. I think it best for us to follow this path..."

Nick giggled because he felt cute, "Haha, I can take on anything, man or beast. Observe my raging biceps!"

Melinda flexed as well,  "Mine are just as large, if not larger, but yet I'd not do such a fool thing as to openly allow myself to be bait for the strange creatures that may lie in wait within this strange place!"

Nick smiled reassuringly, "Dont' worry. I've got everything under control."

After a slight nod from his accomplise, Nick continued on into the thicket.

"See? Nothing to be afraid of. Just...oh! Oh no!! Help, please! Spare me!!"

"Nick!!!" Melinda screamed.

To be continued...

Taking Advantage of the Snow!

So it's snowing in Oregon. This is the best thing that could possibly happen to me. Snow is the best thing in the world and I love to watch it and be out in it. So what's the first thing I do on a nice, snowy winter's day? Well...
